&quot;She left pieces of herself everywhere she went. &#039;It&#039;s easier to feel the sunlight without them,&#039; she said.&quot;<br /> &quot;Even after everything, this world is beautiful.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe&quot;

Mourners sway almost in unison down the cobble streets of the land of graves.
A white coffin draped in beauty.
Laying down an endless list of ruby roses.
Tears falling to the ground like rain.
I smile and say to them...
Don’t be sad, I will return to the white sun today and touch the hand of God.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
